superchunk @ the cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. For Mac McCaughan, the hipsters dance. And scream. We got two encores last night and the crowd would have yelled for a third and a fourth, given the opportunity. Superchunk’s got ten whole tour dates outside of the NC on the schedule for this year, and the…
baseball: unc @ duke, game two
baseball: unc @ duke, game two, originally uploaded by minervacat. Twenty five. (Albeit without a new photo, because I went out without a battery in the camera last night, like a complete moron. This one’s from early March.) If you’d told me two years ago that I would get a little vapoury when Matt Harvey…
blair @ the cave
blair @ the cave, originally uploaded by minervacat. Blair was excellent. The light at the Cave was, well, cave-like. Crappy light + 1600ISO + 1/10 shutter speed + f1.8 + post-processing = grain in your images like you’re shooting film. Except it’s digital, so you don’t even get the satisfaction of knowing you wrung something…
west point on the eno
west point on the eno, originally uploaded by minervacat. Sometimes I forget just how much wildness is actually contained in and around the Triangle area. I bitch a lot about living in perma-surburbia, but really it’s 15 minutes in any direction to the middle of nowhere. I need to remember that more. Eno River, Durham,…

local 506 rockin’ eve: hammer no more the fingers, originally uploaded by minervacat. “If for one minute you think you’re better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and…

baseball: jacksonville suns @ carolina mudcats
Twenty four. Proof that I cannot work the internets correctly: I bought tickets to last night’s Mudcats game, cheerfully thinking that they were to a Mudcats game against the West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx — not, you know, the Jacksonville Suns, who take the obvious abbreviation JAX on the Southern League schedules. Luckily the Diamond Jaxx…

on over-thinking, staying grounded, and robert mapplethorpe
holy ghost tent revival @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. I am one of those people whose mind generally moves faster than she can keep up with it. I am constantly thinking, constantly cooking up ideas and projects and making lists of things to do and see and eat and listen to and achieve…
futurebirds @ local 506
94% of the time, if you say to me, “Hey, I’ve got an extra (free) ticket to this show, do you want to go with me?”, I will say yes, even if I have never previously heard of the band. I like live music and I like discovering new bands, and most of the people…
